Summary of Torch, by Jocelynn Drake and Rinda Elliott

Immerse yourself in the sizzling romance of 'Torch' by Jocelynn Drake and Rinda Elliott. Laugh, cry, and experience love's risks and rewards!

Welcome to the wild and steamy world of the Unbreakable Bonds Series, where friendships are like fine wine-rich, complex, and sometimes best served chilled. In Torch, the third installment, we dive into a love story that ignites hotter than a firework show on the Fourth of July, all while maintaining the emotional stakes higher than your cousin's potential to ruin family gatherings.

Meet the main man, Derrick, who has more baggage than a first-class traveler heading for an international trip. He's got a past that's been more tumultuous than your favorite soap opera, which makes finding love feel like playing a game of Jenga-one wrong move and the whole thing could come crashing down. Enter Tully, a paragon of patience and charm, who seems to have a knack for sticking around despite Derrick's self-sabotaging tendencies.

The story kicks off with our protagonist trying to keep things platonic because, you know, nothing says "I love you" like massive amounts of emotional wall-building. Spoiler alert: it doesn't really work out that way. Their chemistry is so palpable it could power a small city. As their attraction grows, so does Derrick's inability to let go of his past, which basically means he's running around like a headless chicken every time Tully tries to get close.

As tension sizzles and some seriously steamy scenes unfold, we also navigate through themes of friendship, loyalty, and the occasional existential crisis (because what's a romance without a little soul-searching?). You'll find yourself laughing, crying, and probably questioning your own life choices while you root for these two lovable idiots who just need to realize that love is worth the risk.

With all the twists and turns that feel more thrilling than a roller coaster, Derrick and Tully will take you on an emotional roller coaster that's equal parts heartwarming and heart-wrenching. And just when you think you've figured them out, plot twists will hit you harder than your morning coffee.

In essence, if you're looking for a read that mixes heart and humor with a side of hotness, then grab your favorite snack, plop yourself down, and get ready for a ride with Torch. It might just light up your reading list like a sparkler on a summer night. Just remember: when emotions run high, so do the chances of needing a box of tissues nearby. Enjoy!
